Im pretty sure Astro van wheels are the same as our trucks ... 5X5

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

I'll check, I thought they were the S10/Camaro pattern.

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Ok, so maybe I didn't just dream that up,Ha Ha!

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Same 5x5.
That's how the Astro center caps end up on the truck rally wheels.

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

I used a similar tank in my 67 when i swapped to the 6.2, I had a hard time with the fuel fill diameter and location. I added a smaller sized pipe and put it where it would line up closer and clear the chassis.

It`s electrical conduit i picked up from an electical suppy house. It was the perfect size to reuse the factory hose.
I removed the orginal fill once i saw the new one was good.
Sorry for the big pics

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Thanks,I will keep this in mind because I would like it to line up with the factory fill hose,etc.

Freaking awesome. Can you show the paint where they blended the rockers?

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

The door bottoms are original paint and the real thing, the rockers are painted to match them.I'll take a picture of it with door open when I get home

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Cool project, nice work

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Did you buy the hydro boost mounting bracket or make it yourself?

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

I found a write up here on this site, it is actually a mid 90's astro van unit.its pretty easy to adapt to these trucks.Just do a search for hydro boost.

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Great progress! I notice you said you were using a Fbody oil pan with the ECE motor mounts. Have you tested fitted the pan yet? I tried that on my burb and had to switch to a Cadillac CTsV pan do to interference with the front crossmember.

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Thanks!
No I have not test fitted yet, hope to within the next month. Thanks for the heads up, hope it's not a problem. I have been waiting on Thunder racing to ship my cam so I can assemble the engine and It was shipped yesterday so maybe I can get it back together this weekend.

If you look at my build thread I show pictures of the fitment issues with the FBody pan. I'm pretty sure you're going to have to use a different pan.

I sent you PM . Where did you get your CTS V pan?

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

I got mine at the dealership but I bet you can probably find them on eBay also.

Re: Tina, A patina 69 burb project
 

Thanks Hart_Rod! I didn't want to change the oil pan twice so I ordered a CTS V pan last night. I now have an F body pan and a truck pan for sale!
